by the way, mine had that problem too. it would start, idle for a few seconds, then die. I increased the fuel just a little bit and it cured the problem

Thanks! Did you increase the fuel at the bottom of the VE table or after start enrichment? or something else?

Thanks,
Frank

Adding fuel solved my problem on first start up too. I don't know where though since I don't do the tuning. But good luck and congrats!!
